Thanks to Computerfreek274 for Droid Turbo ROM. So far great to use. Only issue is soft keys seem to light inconsistently. No other mods flashed, just straight up Computerfreek274_Unlocked_1.2.6. Any ideas on fix? Thanks in advance.
Seems to be related to adaptive brightness setting for display. If this setting is on, then the soft keys turn off almost immediately. Soft keys stay on as before if the adaptive brightness setting is off. Any way to correct this?

Able to correct with using Lux lite to control brightness

Hi,
I am looking for a way how can I toggle brightness levels from Minimum to may be some level that i can see in bright daylight. And that can be programmed to a key.
So you press the hardware key, it increase brightness. you press it again it dims the brightness to minimum.
Even Long Press is fine.
Suggestions please.
AE Button Plus or HTC home.
this will do it.

Thanks very much. The issue is resolved.
We just picked up a used Droid for the dev department to play with. The backlight comes on during boot up but goes off as soon as it gets into the OS. Settings appear to be normal (full brightness). Any ideas?
hard reset didn't help. The backlight goes off at the exact moment the buzzer announces the os startup. (if that makes sense)
try using other roms..
Working on rooting and loading a rom right now. I took the phone home with me and discovered the backlight isn't out just very dim. It will change slightly when I move the brightness slider around.
OK, it's now running Steel Droid with the same issue. I have a bright screen in recovery and during boot and a very dim one once booted.
try to un-check the automatic brightness, and set it to full brightness...
if that doesnt work... might be a hardware related problem...
Did that already. Seems like an odd hardware issue. I have full backlight in recovery and during boot.
Here is a video of the issue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxHqN_lycG8
Stupid question: do you have auto-brightness active? If so, maybe your light sensor could be broken.

Auto-brightness is unchecked and the brightness is set to max. There is a very slight change to the brightness when I adjust the slider back and forth.
BTW. It is currently running CM7 with the same issue.
Auto brightness seems to behave very unpredictably--when I wake my phone and unlock/use it, it will remain at dimmest setting (too dim), and will seemingly randomly move to a more appropriate brightness (not with intense activity, it's really random), and will again randomly revert to dim setting (not with stoppage of activity).
Is auto brightness messed up with android or the note, and how can I fix it? Just set a manual brightness level?
Running cassie x lite rom and latest franco kernel btw.
No advice about this anyone?
Automatic brightness issue
Hello Friends, I have a similar problem as the OP, octavian90.
For my Galaxy Note, following the sequence below,
Applications > Settings > Display > Brightness
By default the slider for Automatic brightness is towards the middle/centre.
I have unchecked Automatic brightness and calibrated the slider to the extreme left.
I have come across the following strange observations -
1] When I unplug my device after charging, the slider resets to the default level.
2] After I recalibrate it to the extreme left once again and make a phone (voice) call, the slider resets to the default level over again.
Is this normal behaviour or does my device actually have a problem? I am very confused and worried. The device is not even a month old.
Eagerly awaiting your expertise. Thank you octavian90 for initiating this topic.
Friends, awaiting your much needed replies to my queries above.
Have you disabled the screen saver or what its called that adjust the brightness automaticly.? Works like a auto brightness but it can adjust some things brighter and some dimmer eaven on same light....
I just checked my settings and the have the slider all the way to the right because last time I manually adjusted brightness for reading in full daylight. It is currently on automatic brightness (I prefer that setting and don't find it changes too often or too laggy)
I just then manually adjusted slider to about 20% from left while on USB charge then turned automatic back on again. I then removed charger and it still shows automatic and slider about 20% from left.
Could be a ROM/Kernel issue? I am using Rocket ROM with Franco Kernel.
I don't think the position of the slider matters when backlight is set to auto. Or does it?

No it doesn't matter when on autobrightness. But it should remember the last manual setting chosen so not sure what is causing that glitch.
Hm never really paid attention to the behaviour of the slider. I will take a look and report back how mine works.

What I found out: On my device the position of the slider before activating auto mode is completely irrelevant because as soon as I activate the auto mode the slider is reset to its middle position.

Interesting - just turned autobrightness of and you are right - slider went to the middle. Must be by design then. Problem solved

Sorry SoonHD2, I did not understand what you meant. I am confused with the screensaver part you stated.
A humble request for an explanation, if required. Thank you.

This happens with my Galaxy Note as well. Thus, it seems like it is meant to be this way.
I will keep an eye on this and report if and when the Auto brightness slider acts differently.
Hello! I have strange problems with backlight
1) back light is turned off -- i can't see anything on the screen with the day light. Changing the brightness in Settings/Display don't help.
2) but, after power off+power on, backlight is OK for 10 seconds, and turns off right after that.
I find the guy with the same problem,but on droid 2 -- youtube.com/watch?v=RxHqN_lycG8
Btw, in "AP Fastboot" mode ("M" key+PowerOn), backlight is don't turn of.
I try some ROMs, they all don't work for me. Only "kexec CM10" ROM have one difference: if I turn the phone off and on, the backlight is turning on for the 1/2 of second, I can see the lock screen, and after that it is turned off...
What can it be? How can I fix it? Any ideas will be very appreciated! I very like my Droid3,and want it back

You'll have to try to turn the brightness up manually. It may be a broken light sensor. If you get in the right light you might be able to see the background and be able to turn it up.

In the dark room, I can see everything on the screen. Unfortunately, brightness in Settings/display does not affect the backlight on my device.
I set the brightness to the maximum, but it still too dark
Is it possible that the problem is in flexible cable?
When adjusting brightness with the slider, it doesn't change. There doesn't seem to be a auto brightness setting and I have tried a few brightness apps and it still doesnt change. Screen is quite dim.
Currently rooted and on nexus rom.
Any suggestions?

Known issue with this device; reboot will fix it. No fixes (likely a kernel glitch) that becomes more prevelant when device is heavily loaded.
